#3 Losing the midfield battle
Fred and McTominay had started alongside each other on a few occasions and knew each other well. It was a partnership that had the basis to succeed at the Molineux. Unfortunately, neither of them was able to get a grip on the game.
Fred gave away the ball cheaply at an area where losing possession is akin to a criminal offense. He provided a little shield to the back and allowed the Wolves midfield to run past him with ease. McTominay, on the other hand, showed a lot of intent and desire. He was good at closing down the opposition and also scored a goal to give United the perfect start. However, he was not as dominating or imposing in the middle as Solskjaer would have liked.
With two inexperienced players alongside him, Pogba looked a little jaded. The Frenchman still kept trying, but could not win the midfield battle on the night. It ultimately cost United the game.
